PART ONE
Crepe Paper Flowers
Step one

Use about 6-10” of crepe paper
streamer.

Cut it in half lengthwise.
Step Two

Fold the end of the paper over on
itself, then turn it and repeat.
Staple in place.
Repeat.
Step Three

Continue to repeat folding, turning,
and stapling until flower has reached
desired size. Make sure to leave
some paper to finish up with.
It should look something
like this.
Step Four

Twisting…
Using remaining paper, gently twist a
small swirl and attach to flower’s
center with adhesive. This conceals
the staples.
Gluing…
Finished
.
Depending on the amount of paper you use,
and the way you fold it, you can make a variety of flowers. This one was made
using a full-width piece of crepe paper.
PART TWO
Crepe Paper Border
Step One

Once again, cut 6-10” of crepe paper
streamer lengthwise. Or, use any
leftover halves that you may have
from making flowers.
Step Two

Using a needle and thread (use a
color similar to that of the crepe
paper), stitch a simple in-and-out
pattern just inside the edge of the
paper. Be sure to knot the end first.
Step Three

Gently and carefully pull the end of
the thread until the crepe paper
ruffles up. Make the border as long
or as short as you need, pulling the
thread accordingly.
Remember that the paper is fragile!
Step Four

Glue the end of the thread to the
crepe paper. A knot can easily rip
through, so this is more effective.
Step Five

Now, simply glue the ruffled border to
your paper wherever desired. Try to
apply glue wherever the knot is to
help conceal it.
Paper Scallop Borders
Step One

Lay a scallop pattern over paper of
your choice. Overlap whichever part
of the paper you want to use.
Step Two

Holding the two pieces of paper
together carefully, cut along the
scallop pattern.
Step Three

Take one of the newly cut borders
and loosely roll it up, so that it looks
like this:
Then unroll it and roll it back
the other direction. Repeat this
for the other border as well.
This gives the border a more worn
look, instead of laying flat and plain
Step Four

If desired, accent the edges of each
border with Distress Ink (explained
later). If not, glue them in position,
one slightly overlapping the other.
Distress Ink

Distress Ink adds a nice accent to
the borders. Apply it to the scalloped
edges, touching them directly to the
ink pad.
PART THREE
Paper Flowers
Step One

Place flower pattern over paper of
your choosing. Hold the pieces
together and carefully cut around the
edges of the flower pattern.
Step Two

Fold the flower’s petals up one by
one, til the flower is bowl-shaped.
Step Three

Use same process for center of
flower. Cut out the flower’s center
using the pattern, then fold it into
fourths, so that it resembles a pizza
slice. Then fold up each edge
separately.
Step Four

If desired, ink the edges of each
piece with Distress Ink. Then punch
a hole through the center of each,
and layer the center upon the outer
flower. Attach with a button or brad.
Be creative!
Step Five (Leaves)

Cut leaves out of paper using the
leaf pattern.
Step Six

Fold leaves in half lengthwise, giving
a more 3-D effect. Repeat as
necessary for as many leaves as
you’d like.
Step Seven

Layer leaves and flowers as you’d like.
That’s it!
It’s that easy.
PART FOUR
-Me- Letters and
Paper Stitching
Step One

Follow the same steps as before,
cutting out a block around the “me”
letters and gluing it to paper of your
choice (make sure to glue it to the
OPPOSITE side from what you want
to show).
Step Two

Carefully cut around the edges of the
“me” letters.

It pays to take your time here!
Step Three

Glue the letters wherever you like,
pattern-side up.
Step Four (Stitching)

Poke a series of holes along the
edge of your paper using a needle.
They can be as close or as far apart
as you like.
Step Five

Attach a piece of colored ribbon or
string to the needle and stitch a
simple in-and-out pattern through the
holes. Be careful not to rip through.
Step Six

Finish up with a bow or some kind of
flourish of your choice. There’s a lot
of room for creativity here!
